These wily little rodents love to tunnel and chew, not unlike voles, but they\u2019re large and can be voracious during the breeding season. Learn how to identify these animals and tell them apart from <a href=\"\/wildlife\/gopher\/gophers-vs-moles\/\">moles<\/a>, <a href=\"\/wildlife\/voles\/\">voles<\/a>, <a href=\"\/wildlife\/gopher\/gopher-vs-groundhog\/\">groundhogs<\/a>,&nbsp; and other similar rodents so you can choose the right targeted approach. We\u2019ll teach you how to get rid of gophers in the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-gophers\">What Are Gophers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gophers are burrowing rodents found across the U.S. There are over 40 species, most of which are found somewhere in North or Central America. They\u2019re the largest of the common rodents that tunnel through urban and suburban yards. That means they can cause extensive damage. Not only can they put numerous dead patches in your lawn in one night, but they\u2019re also known for causing expensive damage at commercial farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gophers-vs-moles\">Gophers vs. Moles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moles are darker colored, have a very short tail, and feature large digging claws on their feet. Gophers are larger, lighter colored in most cases, and have medium-length tails covered in fur. Moles create mounds with no obvious openings and a very rounded shape. Gopher mounds have a clear hole somewhere on them and take a different shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gophers-vs-voles\">Gophers vs. Voles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Voles look similar to gophers but are smaller. They also have a larger head to their body size than gophers. Voles have short furry tails and tend to dig very shallow tunnels you\u2019ll see running along the soil&#8217;s surface. Grass often dies off quickly when a vole tunnels, although it can take a few days to respond to gopher damage. Voles don\u2019t form mounds like moles or gophers and just leave openings and holes in the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-recognize-a-gopher-problem\">How to Recognize a Gopher Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Become an expert in identification before you decide how to get rid of gophers in the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gopher-mounds-and-holes\">Gopher Mounds and Holes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"\/wildlife\/gopher\/gopher-holes-in-yard\/\">mounds formed by gophers<\/a> have a distinctive horseshoe-type shape to them. They\u2019ll have a higher-raised side and a protected lower area, which is where the opening tends to be found. Loose dirt may cover the top of the opening, so poke around the inner part of the horseshoe shape with a stick to see if you can uncover this hole. It\u2019s the best way to determine if you\u2019re dealing with gophers or moles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-are-gophers-in-the-yard\">Why Are Gophers in the Yard?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gophers need shelter from their enemies, which include hawks and red foxes. Your yard may feature a lack of predators and a perfect food source. Gophers like to eat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bulbs of many popular landscaping plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seeds of flowers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grass, especially if it\u2019s allowed to form seeds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small flowers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many types of roots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gophers also need relatively sandy and loamy soil to dig in. They don\u2019t like heavy clay, rocky soils, or pure sand that collapses as they tunnel. Of course, you can\u2019t significantly change the soil on your property just to exclude gophers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gopher-problems\">Gopher Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moles and voles often damage your landscaping plants and leave dead patches of brown grass on your lawn. Gophers can do all that and dig tunnels so large they could compromise your home\u2019s foundation. They also love to chew pipes and wires when they can find them, potentially <a href=\"\/wildlife\/gopher\/gopher-damage\/\">damaging <\/a>your buried utility lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each burrow system can cover up to 2,000 square feet underground. That means a family of gophers can hollow out an area nearly as big as your home. Getting rid of the gophers won\u2019t just preserve your favorite flowering bulbs and shrubs, but it will also prevent serious damage to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-gopher-repellents-don-t-work\">Why Gopher Repellents Don\u2019t Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That you could just spread the right liquid or set up a tool and never see gophers again is a nice idea. Unfortunately, the reality is a little different. Ultrasonic and thumping repellents simply don\u2019t bother gophers (or most other rodents) very much in the open environment. They\u2019ll just go around them or pick a different direction to dig. Castor oil, predator urine products, and strongly scented soaps rarely get their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other home remedies like trying to seal or flood the tunnels are impractical because you\u2019ll rarely be able to find every tunnel and mound on your own. Failing to deal with the entire burrow will just leave the gophers living in a different section you haven\u2019t found yet. Hot peppers and homemade mixtures of various liquids are unlikely to help much either, no matter how much you spread them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-critter-control-gets-rid-of-gophers\">How Critter Control Gets Rid of Gophers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gopher control is no easy task because the average yard is full of both food sources and ideal habitats for these animals. Even if you humanely removed every gopher currently on your property, you\u2019d simply find more gophers moving in. The key is discouraging them altogether by reducing food sources and setting up exclusion efforts that prevent new gophers from entering. Critter Control can handle both of these efforts while also setting up quality traps at every gopher mound and tunnel on the property. This deals with the current population of gophers while keeping newcomers from moving in to fill the gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to set traps and exclusion methods yourself is not as likely to succeed as professional gopher control measures because our experts can find tunnels and mounds you\u2019ll likely never find. Our ongoing gopher control maintenance services follow up to ensure that any early signs of gopher re-infestation are dealt with immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Struggling with gophers for years can take all the enjoyment out of trying to garden or landscape around your home. They could also put your home at risk for serious damage if they\u2019re allowed to continue tunneling under your yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put a stop to gophers for good with the help of the Critter Control team. We\u2019ll find every tunnel and mound, so our trapping and exclusion methods provide the results you want.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"wildlife-form bottom\">\n  <div class=\"row\">\n    <div
